Cryotherapy, an old method in a 21st century guise

Cryotherapy is nothing new. The principle behind it is even centuries old: exposing the body to extreme cold. We know from studies and research that cold strengthens our immune system. You will find the same idea in the sauna: in the plunge pool. Cryotherapy works in the same way. But in a modern, efficient way. After 3 minutes you will leave the cabin as a different person. More vital, stronger and happier.

How does it work?

Cryotherapy is a way to naturally stimulate the body's own healing capabilities. The human body has a wonderful intelligence and power. It is able to solve many things without outside help. However, the immune system must receive the right stimulus to initiate certain processes. The stimulus of -110 degrees Celsius puts the body on edge. The body's intelligence considers this stimulus as a life-threatening situation. The cold receptors in the skin send signals to the brain that the body is in danger of dying. As a result, the blood withdraws to the torso to keep the vital organs warm for as long as possible. The temperature of the blood also rises, which means that viruses and bacteria in the blood cannot survive. The body produces natural painkillers as well as all kinds of other substances to strengthen the body. During the WBC treatment, you stay in a room where it is -110 degrees Celsius for a maximum of 3 minutes. The dry cold gives the body an intense stimulus.
